1995 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select Bottle:12 wild blackberries and dried plumsRP99 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select possesses lots of fatness in the mid palate. There is plenty of tannin in this full bodied, rich effort. It is remarkable how the finest California Cabernets combine extraordinary power and richness with balance and elegance. A stupendous wine, it is worth a special effort to obtain. Anticipated maturity: 2003 2030. WE94 Wine Enthusiast A stunning, utterly fantastic wine.
